I love that pattern and your choice of colors is fantastic.
|
Very nice

Your colors are absolutely wonderful. Great job, however you decide to finish it.
|
Very pretty love your colors
|
Beautiful topper, that's how I'd leave it, so it will be displayed in full on a table.
|
Thank you so much anxious to try this.
|
Beautiful colors and so perfect! I'd finish it for where it would be visible most often. Reminds me of raspberries!
|
Oh, breath taking.
|
I have seen this mostly envelope finished rather than with a binding. I think it would make a great tree skirt too... :)
|
Wow! It is so perfect and I love it.
|
This is really pretty. It got me to thinking that maybe I'll try one.
|
Gorgeous, Gorgeous Color Choices. I don't know what to tell you either, but it is so gorgeous. Hope that helps. :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
Very pretty, like the colors. draw on a piece of paper the distant from corner to corner,then down each side and add your seam allowance. Good luck.
|
Those are FABULOUS colors!!!
|
Gorgeous, I love the colors and think it would make a gorgeous quilt.

You might want to mount it to make hanging easier. That's how I did a circular quilt.
|
beautiful love your fabric colors
|
This one looks like it would be hard to do! but I sure love it, so pretty...
|
Very pretty. I've never made one but it looks like something I'd like to try some day!
|
Normally I don't care for pink, but your quilt is absolutely beautiful. I think it would make a wonderful quilt.
|
Either way it sure is fantastic and eyecatching. What beautiful colors. :thumbup:
|
Strikingly beautiful.
|
I LOVE your color choices. Beautiful!
|
Thank you all again-I'm humbled by all your compliments. I am so insecure about posting my work.
Many have commented on the fabric. I have never worked with pink (most of my work is very dark) and rarely use florals unless they're black. This fabric line is April Cornell from Joann Fabrics. I fell in love with them, bought them, and then couldn't figure out what to do with them. I think they worked well and I can't wait to check out her new line. Thanks again everyone. |

1: if I decide to make it into a quilt, how do I determine the size of the "inset" blocks in the corners? Do I measure and add seam allowances or is there another way? 2. if I decide to keep it a table topper, can I sandwich top, batting, and backing then sew and turn it right side out? I really don't want to add binding as it would detract from the stripes. Thanks so much for your help! I love your colors. |
The ones I've seen bound have binding that matches the outer border of each point. Don't know how they did it but it looked great.
|
that is gorgeous
|
That's beautiful. I think that I would sandwich it inside out & turn it back & do some quilting on it. I agree that binding would detract from the stripes. But I would put it on a wall to be seen every day.
|
It is beautiful and the color you choose are wonderful.
|
oh my goodness, is that gorgeous or what??????
I think I'm in love! :XD: |
Thank you, Mousie. I decided to make it into a wall hanging. I just need a nice day when I'm not working so I can work outside and get the "frame" made for it and it's going up in my dining room.
You guys have really given my confidenc a boost-thank you. |
Use straight pins to secure to wall they will hold (no nail holes to cover up)
|
MOMMOMJOANN: Could you tell me the place where you bought the star spin kit. Do you know if they would ship it? I have the pattern but have decided kit would be easier than buying all the necessary fabric.
|
I think making it into a wall hanging is the perfect answer!! And Geraldine's suggestion of using straight pins might work really well. I have used them for several of my wall hangings. Beautiful topper/wall hanging!! You have got to be proud of this!!
